"Uncle? Is that uncle?" He Yan showed a surprised expression, like a blind man touching an elephant, and grabbed it with open hands, "Where are you?"
Xiao Jue watched her acting coldly, and sarcastically said, "Aren't you capable of shooting arrows blindfolded, listening to sounds and identifying shapes? Why, can't you tell where I am?"
He Yan's movements stopped abruptly, and after a while, he smiled shyly, "I'm afraid you'll feel embarrassed. Uncle, are you taking a shower?"
The young man opened his eyes and looked straight ahead without blinking. Even though he had put on his clothes at the moment, Xiao Jue felt uncomfortable all over.
"Where did you go just now?" he asked.
"The latrine, Brother Fei Nu has gone out, and I can't believe the servants here, so I went out to relax. Uncle, why did you come back so early today?" He Yan asked, "Brother Fei Nu hasn't come back?"
Xiao Jue turned sideways, put on his outer clothes again, and said, "Don't run around here."
He Yan looked at him, thinking of the conversation between Yuan Baozhen's master and servant he heard just now, and said, "Uncle, have you been checking the assassins at the night banquet these days? Did you find out?"
Xiao Jue glanced at her and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"You said... Is it possible that the people in this mansion harmed you? Look, Sun Zhixian said he didn't know about it, but the matter was in his mansion, how could he know nothing? It's unreasonable. And Yuan Yushi," He Yan racked his brains to suggest, "I think he's also very strange..."
"Oh, where's the weirdness?" Xiao Jue asked.
He Yan didn't know how to answer this, but he couldn't say it. I went up to the roofs of their houses to uncover the tiles and overheard their speeches, and I was blinded by the guard next to him in my last life. He Yan had no choice but to say: "Yuan Yushi came to me once before and asked me some weird questions. If you want me to say something, I have to say that my intuition is a bit wrong. Uncle, you should be more careful about them."
The boy fumbled to find a chair and sat down, his tone was very serious, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Jue's eyes. He slowly asked back, "You told me to beware of Yuan Baozhen?"
"Yeah, you think, if they really hurt you, there will be a next time. Uncle, you are not in the mansion on weekdays, but you don't have to worry about it... But it's not right, you are not in the manor on weekdays, you Why do you still live here?" He Yan suddenly remembered something.
Since he wants to live in the Sun Mansion, he has to go out every day. Isn't this a contradiction
"You should pay more attention to your eyes, not these things." Xiao Jue said calmly, "You really can't see?"
He Yan's heart jumped, and he pretended to be stupid: "That's natural! What good will it do for me to pretend to be blind?"
What she said was powerful, and when Xiao Jue looked at her again, she felt that everything she did was not like a real blind man. But this person is used to deceiving people, otherwise he wouldn't even lie to Fei Nu.
Seeing that Xiao Jue didn't speak, He Yan was afraid that he would continue this conversation, so he smiled and said, "Uncle, weren't you taking a shower? Did I disturb you when I came in? Do you want to continue? Go ahead, I'm here. Guard outside the door, keep it from entering, and keep others from entering." After speaking, he groped the door and opened it, went out and sat down on the steps outside the door, guarding the door like a door god.
Xiao Jue: "..."
He Yan didn't listen to the movement in the room. He didn't know if Second Young Master Xiao was in the mood to continue bathing. Anyway, He Yan's mind was a little chaotic. There are so many facts that happened today, I don't know what to think about first. He Rufei, Xu Xiang, Yuan Baozhen and Ding Yi's conspiracy and messes mixed together, and finally turned into Xiao Jue's appearance.
"Bah bah bah—" He Yan scolded, thinking in his heart that this man who is not blind, after all this time, is afraid that he will be blind too. Although she is a woman, when she thinks about it carefully, she doesn't know who is taking advantage of whom.
Half a catty eight taels!
…
Early the next morning, Xiao Jue disappeared again. After Fei Nu came to give her a meal, he also disappeared. The two masters and servants didn't know what they were doing every day. He Yan sat on the couch, wondering if he was going to sneak out to follow Yuan Baozhen and his guards today, but after what happened last night, Yuan Baozhen wanted to come here. He will definitely stare at the roof, the roof of the Sun family is fragile, and it is not suitable to climb repeatedly.
Who knew that before Rong Heyan came up with a result, Ding Yi came to the door himself. He stood at the door and said respectfully, "Master Cheng?"
He Yan raised his head, and Ding Yi's voice was respectful and polite: "Master Yuan, please come over for tea."
"What kind of tea?" He Yan asked casually, "I'm quite picky about tea."
"All kinds of tea are available," Ding Yi said with a smile, "If Cheng Gongzi is unwilling..."
"I am willing," He Yan stood up with the head of the bed, "I am here alone, it is really boring, it is rare for Sir Yuan to remember me and accompany me to relieve my boredom. How can I be so ignorant of praise? You lead the way." There was still a strip of cloth wrapped around her eyes, "Please bring my bamboo stick."
When Fei Nu came back last night, he brought back a bamboo stick for He Yan, neither tall nor short, just enough to be walked on by He Yan. Although this person looked taciturn, he was actually very considerate. After all, the people in the Sun Mansion are untrustworthy and not used by everyone, but it is really inconvenient to walk on her own. It is much better to have a bamboo stick. Also more "like" a blind man.
Ding Dao: "Okay." Looking sideways, he saw a bamboo stick standing in front of the table. He walked over and took the bamboo stick in his hand. Take it."
He Yan stretched out his hand tremblingly to pick it up, just when he was about to touch the head of the bamboo stick, Ding Yi suddenly withdrew his hand forward, He Yan's body fluttered in the air, she was standing unsteadily, and her body almost crooked When he fell, he was fortunately helped by Ding Yi, Ding Dao said, "Is Cheng Gongzi okay?"
"It's okay." He Yan said with lingering fears: "I almost fell." Then he said in a sad tone: "Now I can't even take anything."
"It's all bad for your subordinates," Ding Yi said guiltily: "Just now, it should have been sent directly to Young Master Cheng, which shocked Young Master Cheng."
Despite his words, his eyes were fixed on He Yan, trying to find a flaw in He Yan's face. It's a pity that once his eyes are covered with cloth strips, it is really hard to guess the change in He Yan's expression. He also didn't know, He Yan looked at the person in front of him and sneered silently in his heart.
This strip of cloth was modified by her last night. It was a black strip of cloth, and a tiny gap was made by a needle in the eye area. Not much, just a little bit. Through this little gap, you can see the movements of outsiders, but in the eyes of outsiders, He Yan is just a blind man whose eyes are covered by cloth strips.
Ding Yi's probing, staring at her face, was caught by He Yan. She didn't expect that Ding Yi was still suspicious of her now. But why? She escaped very fast last night, and Ding Yi should not have found any clues. If it was said that Xiao Juemo was reminded to drink a glass of wine at the night banquet, the last time Yuan Baozhen came over, the temptation should have ended.
Why such a temptation over and over again.
He Yan couldn't think of the reason, so he leaned on the bamboo stick and said, "Forget it, it's none of your business, let's go."
"My subordinates should support you." Ding Yi said.
"No need," He Yan said, "if I really can't see anymore, sooner or later I'll have to get used to this kind of life. What's the point of always asking others to help? Besides, I have a bamboo stick, I just walk slowly, no If you can't keep up, you just tell me how to go in front of you."
The young man's voice was stubborn, and it sounded like he had to be competitive even if he was blind. Ding Yi didn't find any loopholes and said, "Then ask Mr. Cheng to come with me."
He walked forward, telling He Yan where there are steps on the road and where to turn left and right. He Yan was actually walking very slowly. The bamboo sticks touched the ground and made a "tuk-tuk-tuk" sound, very careful. He walked seriously, Ding Yi was also very patient, and had been guiding her, but He Yan could see from the corner of his eyes that this man had been staring at her every tiny movement, still trying to catch any loopholes that might appear in her.
If it is pretending to be blind, people will have some common habits when they walk a short distance, and people who are close can also find the slightest error if they pay a little attention. However, He Yan had already come prepared. She was covered with a cloth, and she could think of the days when she was in the Xu family in the past. She had also been truly blind. There was no need to pretend, as long as she made it according to the past.
The two of them, one pretended to be blind, the other observed, and they were both watching out for each other. In the end, it was the one who pretended to be blind who was superior. They stopped and walked, and there was no flaw, and they had already arrived at the gate of Yuan Baozhen.
Ding Dao: "Young Master Cheng, be careful going down the steps, here we are."
He Yan lit the bamboo stick, followed the guidance of the bamboo stick and lifted his foot, trembled up the steps, and walked in with Ding Yi.
The room that Yuan Baozhen lived in, leaning on the dark side, it seemed that it was difficult to get sunlight on ordinary days. As soon as I entered it, it felt dim, and even a lamp was lit during the day. In front of the small table was a teapot with several tea cups and a plate of snacks. Ding Yi led her to sit down in front of the small table.
Yuan Baozhen raised his head and smiled kindly at He Yan, "Young Master Cheng, how are you doing these days?"
"It's okay." He Yan pointed to his eyes: "Except it's not good here."
"Is it still not getting better these days?"
"No." He Yan sighed, "I don't know when the genius doctor my uncle is looking for will arrive in Liangzhou."
Yuan Baozhen didn't take it seriously, just looked at Ding Yi, who shook his head to him, meaning that he had not found any flaws along the way.
That is really blind.
When he looked at He Yan, He Yan was also looking at him. The gaps revealed by the black cloth were blurry and could not be seen very clearly, but He Yan felt that this person was different from what he saw a few days ago. His voice was still very kind, but probably because He Yan couldn't see it, he didn't even bother to pretend the smile on his face. There was a bit of anxiety in his expression, as if something was not going well.
Also, since they came here specifically to murder Xiao Jue, they never succeeded. Right now, I don't even see Xiao Jue's trace every day, and I don't even have any contact with Shunliang.
Yuan Baozhen pushed the tea cup in front of him into He Yan's hand, and then brought the plate containing the dim sum to He Yan, and said with a smile, "Have some dim sum".
He Yan could clearly see that the snack was sprinkled with some crushed peanuts.
He Yan still remembered Cheng Lisu's instructions to himself when he was leaving, that he would get a rash all over his body as long as he ate peanuts. That's interesting. Does Yuan Baozhen know that Cheng Lisu cannot eat peanuts? He Yan felt that nine times out of ten, he knew. Then the purpose of this package of desserts is very clear, and it is still testing her.
After eating this plate of dim sum, there is no rash, there is a problem. There is also a problem with not eating this plate of dim sum.
He Yan thought that he was so virtuous and capable, and wanted Yuan Baozhen to try this again and again.
She didn't go to pick up the cup of tea or the snacks, but smiled and said in a strange tone: "Master Yuan, I can't really drink tea and eat snacks."
Yuan Baozhen's eyes moved: "Why?"
"After you know about the night banquet, my uncle will not let me eat or drink in the house. My daily things are sent by Fei slaves, Master Yuan, it's not that I can't trust you, it is because my uncle is a very good person. Strict, if I eat something behind his back and get angry, I can't bear the consequences." The young man's tone was very natural, and he didn't even understand why Yuan Baozhen was so stupid, he said: "I advise Sir Yuan to also Don't eat what's in the house, endure the appetite for a while, don't risk your life because of it."
The young man answered quickly, with no clue at all, and it was unclear whether he was telling the truth or lying. Yuan Baozhen smiled, "I also ordered the servants to buy the refreshments here."
"Eating outside is even more dangerous." He Yan said earnestly: "It's really not good, Sir Yuan, wait a minute, when my uncle returns to the house, you can tell my uncle that with my uncle's approval, I can eat these things again. it is good?"
Yuan Baozhen couldn't answer this, he invited Xiao Jue over for tea? Are you exposing yourself.
He Yan felt that what he said was flawless, Cheng Lisu was originally a little coward who was afraid of his uncle!
Yuan Baozhen withdrew his hand, shook his head and smiled: "You don't want to eat if you don't want to eat Mr. Cheng." His tone was very disappointed.
"It's okay, I'm here to sit with Master Yuan, it's fine."
"Then, I'm curious about something," Yuan Baozhen looked at the young man in front of him, and changed the conversation, "Dudu Xiao loves you so much, why has you been left alone in the mansion these few days. Only the guard is by his side, Even if it's a bodyguard, he doesn't stay with Cheng Gongzi all the time. If there is really any problem in this house, Governor Xiao won't worry that Cheng Gongzi will be in danger?"
As soon as these words came out, He Yan was very happy, and suddenly understood why Yuan Baozhen's master and servant wanted to hold him down.
Because Xiao Jue left his nephew alone in the Sun Mansion, it was an unreasonable thing! The reason why Xiao Jue did this was that He Yan herself knew martial arts, and that she was not the real Cheng Lisu, and had no blood relationship with Xiao Jue. Treat each other. But in fact, if the real Cheng Lisu is here, Xiao Jue will definitely try his best to ensure his safety. Instead of the current situation, He Yan stayed in the Sun Mansion by himself, and was written all over his body as being freed, like a disfavored and abandoned concubine who was thrown into the cold palace.
He Yan himself has always been very correct in his position, so he doesn't feel anything, but in the eyes of others, it is wrong. She suddenly reacted at this time, and she knew that this was the reason why Yuan Baozhen's master and servant always felt wrong and stared at him.
But Xiao Jue is so smart, how could he not think of this. He Yan felt that it was impossible. When he was in the Xianchang Pavilion, He Yan was careless, but Xiao Jue was very cautious. He Yan did not believe that he would ignore it. Then there was only one possibility. Xiao Jue did it on purpose. Xiao Jue deliberately exposed her flaws, causing Yuan Baozhen's master and servant to be full of doubts about her, and to test himself again and again.
But why? Even though Xiao Jue has doubts about her, at least for now, they should be a group. Could it be... This bastard is using her as a shield. She has attracted the attention of Yuan Baozhen's master and servant, and Xiao Jue has to do his own business
The more He Yan thought about it, the more he felt that there was a possibility, and he wanted to tear Xiao Jue into eight pieces. She didn't show it on her face, but said innocently: "What danger could there be? My uncle has said it a long time ago. The real danger is not in this mansion. I am very safe in the mansion. Sir Yuan, I tell you," she said. Whispered: "The real danger lies outside the mansion."
"Outside the mansion?" Yuan Baozhen and Ding looked at each other and asked He Yan, "What do you say, Young Master Cheng?"
"I don't know about that," He Yan spread his hands, looking like it had nothing to do with me, "I overheard what my uncle said anyway. If you want to know, just ask my uncle directly." She He added another sentence, "I see that he has been outside the residence for the past few days, so maybe he is going to solve the 'danger'."
Okay, since Xiao Jue used her as a shield, she kicked the target back and led Yuan Baozhen's eyes outside the mansion. Besides, her image of a waste boy who doesn't know three questions has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and she didn't find any flaws when she wanted to come to Yuan Baozhen.
"Young Master Cheng really knows how to joke," Yuan Baozhen said with a smile: "Since it's Dudu Xiao's private matter, I won't ask about it." He started talking about other things.
He Yan froze all over.
She saw Ding Yi came over, got very close to her, and bent down to untangle an incense ball around her waist.
Cheng Lisu is a very particular young master, and there are countless sachets and jade pendants. He Yan felt that those things were too precious, and he was afraid of losing them. It took a long time to find a simple-looking incense ball. The incense ball is only the size of two fingers. It is a small round ball woven from wisteria. The center is hollow and filled with spices and herbs. It is worn around the waist. There is a faint fragrance in action, which is cute and elegant.
Ding Yi held the incense ball in his hand, his movements were so light that he could hardly feel it, and He Yan, who couldn't see it, could only pretend that he didn't feel anything at the moment.
She wouldn't think that Ding Yi liked this incense ball and stole it. Sure enough, Ding Yi opened the top of the incense ball, took out the original medicinal materials and put it away, and filled in something else.
Certainly not a good thing.
After doing all this, he lightly put the incense ball back on He Yan's waist, and He Yan didn't make a single move from beginning to end.
Yuan Baozhen's face showed satisfaction, Ding Yi stood back to Yuan Baozhen's side again, looking from the outside, everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened.
He Yan chatted with Yuan Baozhen about anecdotes about Shuojing, only to feel that the incense ball around his waist was faintly hot. In her previous life, she had suffered from using poison, and He Yan suspected that maybe Ding Yi was good at using poison. She still remembered the words she heard from listening to Yuan Baozhen's master and servant's room last night, but they were planning to use themselves to stumble upon Xiao Jue. This is probably what they came up with.
This thing is probably poisonous, and the toxicity is not small. If you wear it on your body, you will die. Xiao Jue, who is close to you, will also die when he smells it. Even Fei Nu can't escape. In this way, a family of three, no, The three masters and servants are really a hoot, and they can all blame the assassin. Perhaps when Zuo Zuo came for an autopsy and found that he was not the real Cheng Lisu, he became an assassin who pretended to be Cheng Lisu and secretly murdered the right army governor.
He Yan fought a cold war and must not let this happen.
She said, "Master Yuan, I'm a little anxious. I want to go to the toilet first."
…
Xiao Jue walked in the Sun's house.
Fei Nu followed in his footsteps and seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
"Master, Yuan Baozhen invited He Yan away." He said.
Xiao Jue put the sword on the table, turned around, and said casually, "Probably still testing."
"If they can't find the young master, they can only start with He Yan."
Xiao Jue smiled noncommittally. He Yan was originally the shield he put out. He used it to make noise. He didn't have two tails, so it was more convenient to do things. Others thought he was leaving the house, but in fact, the only day he actually left the house was today.
He has been in the Sun Mansion, hiding in the dark, but no one has found it.
"Young master will not be discovered by He Yan if he does this?"
"He should have found out, but he can only lie." Xiao Jue said: "This person was lying when he first told Yuan Baozhen, although he didn't know why."
He Yan handled it very well. The better he handled it, the more he couldn't find any flaws, the more suspicious Yuan Baozhen would be. Because Xiao Jue kept his nephew in the Sun Mansion, this was a flawed thing.
"Young master uses Yuan Baozhen to test He Yan, and He Yan to test Yuan Baozhen, but what if they are a group?"
Up to now, almost all Xiao Jue has stayed out of the assassination at the banquet that night when he first arrived at Sun Mansion. He Yan and Yuan Baozhen tested each other, just to figure out the origin of the two people, killing two birds with one stone.
"If it's together, we'll do it all in one go." Xiao Jue said lightly, "Originally, this matter is about to end here."
Fei Nu was silent, and after a while, he seemed to remember something, and then said: "Today He Yan went to Yuan Baozhen's room, and the guards around Yuan Baozhen replaced the incense ball that He Yan was wearing."
Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows: "He didn't find it?"
"No."
"It's just a play."
"I'm afraid the incense ball is poisonous, Governor, you should stay away from him today."
Xiao Jue glanced out the window and suddenly said, "He Yan should be back at this time, what are you doing outside?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a maid from Sun Mansion running out of breath, and said as she ran, "It's not good, it's not good!"
Fei Nu opened the door: "What's wrong?"
The maid murmured: "Master Cheng... Master Cheng fell down in the thatched hut!"
